Tóm tắt

This paper investigates the effects of key hyperparameters on the forecasting accuracy of a one-dimensional convolutional neural network for short-term electricity load forecasting. A univariate load time series is first transformed into supervised learning samples using a 24-step sliding window. From these generated samples, the most recent 840 samples are retained to reflect recent operating patterns. These 840 samples are then split chronologically into 672 training samples (80%) and 168 testing samples (20%). On the training set, three-fold Time-Series cross-validation is employed to preserve temporal order. A total of 160 configurations are examined by varying the learning rate, number of convolutional filters, kernel size, and dropout rate, while keeping the number of dense units, batch size, and training epochs fixed. Forecasting performance is measured using mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results indicate that hyperparameter choices significantly affect both accuracy and fold-to-fold stability; the best configuration achieves a mean cross-validated MAPE of approximately 2.13% with a standard deviation of about 0.44%. These findings underscore the importance of meticulous hyperparameter selection in enhancing the reliability of compact 1D convolutional models for short-term load forecasting.
